Vivo made the announcement on Chinese social media platform Weibo and the posts reveal a whole lot of other details around the 120W fast charging technology. As per Vivo, the 120W FlashCharge tech will charge a phone with a 4,000 mAh battery from 0 to 50% in just 5 minutes. Ya, that is insane but what’s even more insane is the fact that it will only take 8 minutes to charge the rest of the battery, which means it will charge the phone from 0 to 100% in just 13 minutes. Here’s a GIF from one of the Weibo posts which shows the 120W charging in action:
That is crazy fast, right? Well, if Vivo’s claims are true, its 120W charger is definitely faster than the 100W fast charging solution, which takes 17 minutes to fully charge a phone. Having said that, it seems like Vivo is still testing out the 120W FlashCharge technology and while we should get more details at MWC 2019 Shanghai, we are not expecting a phone with the insanely fast charging technology, although Vivo is launching its first 5G phone at the expo.
